Taking into consideration,

1) that within the RSDLP there has emerged, in connection with agitation by comrade Axelrod for a non-party workers' congress{13}, a tendency (Larin, Shcheglo, El', Ivanovsky, Mirov, the Odessa edition of "Osvobozhdenie truda"{14}) directed toward the destruction of the social-democratic workers' party and its replacement by a non-party political organization of the proletariat;

2) that alongside this, outside the party and directly against the party, anarcho-syndicalist agitation is being conducted among the proletariat, advancing the same slogan of a non-party workers' congress and non-party organizations ("Soyuznoye delo" and its group in Moscow, anarchist press in Odessa, etc.);

3) that, despite the resolution of the November All-Russian Conference of the RSDLP{15}, there have been observed a series of disorganizing actions within our party directed toward the creation of non-party organizations;

4) that, on the other hand, the RSDLP has never refused to utilize, at moments of greater or lesser revolutionary upsurge, certain non-party organizations such as soviets of workers' deputies for strengthening social-democratic influence in the working class and consolidating the social-democratic workers' movement (see the September resolutions of the Petersburg Committee and Moscow Committee on the workers' congress in nos. 3 and 4 of "Proletariat"{16});

5) that on the basis of the beginning upsurge there exists the possibility of organizing or utilizing, for purposes of developing social-democracy, non-party representative institutions of the working class, such as: soviets of workers' deputies, soviets of workers' delegates, etc., whereby the organizations of the social-democratic party must bear in mind that with correct, firm and broad conduct of social-democratic work among the masses of the proletariat, such institutions may prove to be in fact superfluous; —

taking this into consideration, the conference recognizes,

1) that the most decisive principled struggle is necessary against the anarcho-syndicalist movement in the proletariat and against the ideas of Axelrod and Larin in social-democracy;

2) that the most decisive struggle is necessary against all disorganizing and demagogic attempts from within the RSDLP to weaken party organization or to use it for the replacement of social-democracy by non-party political organizations of the proletariat;

3) that participation by organizations of the social-democratic party, should circumstances require, in all-party soviets of workers' delegates, soviets of workers' deputies, and congresses of their representatives is permissible, as well as the organization of such institutions on condition of strictly party conduct of this work for purposes of development and strengthening of the social-democratic workers' party;

4) that for purposes of expanding and strengthening social-democratic influence among the broad masses of the proletariat, it is necessary, on the one hand, to intensify work on organizing trade unions and social-democratic propaganda and agitation within them, and on the other hand, to attract ever broader strata of the working class to participation in all types of party organizations.
